Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a device, in particular to a vacuum system emission reduction liquid storage tank device. Background Art

[0002] Vacuum systems are crucial production support systems in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor industries. Vacuum concentration, in particular, uses a vacuum pump to reduce system pressure to increase solution concentration. Under vacuum, the boiling point of the solvent decreases, allowing it to evaporate rapidly at lower temperatures, thereby increasing concentration speed and efficiency.

[0003] During the vacuum concentration process, after the solvent is condensed by the condenser of the concentration equipment system, due to factors such as the condenser's cold liquid temperature and heat exchange, a considerable portion of the gaseous solvent is not condensed. It is directly drained out by the vacuum pump, generating a large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). To reduce the generation of VOCs, the industry often adds a stage of deep condensation before the vacuum pump to perform a secondary condensation of the gaseous solvent. The condensate is collected in a storage tank to reduce VOCs emissions. However, in actual operation, after the condensate enters the storage tank, due to the existence of saturated vapor pressure, under high vacuum conditions, the liquid in the storage tank evaporates for a second time. The gaseous solvent generated by the secondary volatilization will be directly discharged by the vacuum pump to emit VOCs. Under the long-term action of the vacuum pump, the liquid loss is very large, resulting in a weakening of the VOCs reduction effect of this solution.

[0004] The utility model provides a vacuum system emission reduction liquid storage tank which can solve the problem that the liquid collected in the existing conventional storage tank is secondary volatilized under the action of a vacuum pump to produce a large amount of VOCs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a vacuum system emission reduction liquid storage tank, which includes a tank body 1, a liquid collecting pan 2, a liquid inlet valve 3 and a balancing valve 4; wherein the tank body 1 and the liquid collecting pan 2 are connected by welding or self-sealing, and the liquid collecting pan 2 divides the liquid storage tank into two parts, an upper part and an lower part; the liquid collecting pan 2 is used to collect liquid in the upper part of the liquid storage tank; wherein the liquid inlet valve 3 is located at the center of the liquid collecting pan 2, and serves as a one-way valve structure for the upper liquid to enter the lower channel, and only allows the liquid to flow from top to bottom; the balancing valve 4 is a one-way valve device for balancing the vacuum degree of the upper and lower parts of the liquid storage tank.

[0006] In some embodiments, the liquid collecting tray 2 is an inverted cone-shaped disk having an outer diameter consistent with the inner diameter of the liquid storage tank and made of the same material, and a circular hole for installing the liquid inlet valve 3 is provided in the center thereof.

[0007] In some embodiments, the balancing valve 4 is a one-way valve installed on the periphery of the liquid collecting tray 2 close to the tank body, and the flow direction is from bottom to top.

[0008] In some embodiments, the tank body 1 , the liquid collecting tray 2 , the liquid inlet valve 3 and the balancing valve 4 are made of a material selected from stainless steel, glass or plastic.

[0009] The utility model utilizes structural separation to place the liquid at the lower end, which is not located in the same part as the vacuum channel, greatly reducing the generation of VOCs by secondary volatilization, thereby greatly improving the emission reduction effect of the secondary condensation solution.

[0010] The liquid collecting tray 2 of the present invention is an inverted cone-shaped disk, the center of which is slightly lower than the outer edge of the disk so that the liquid flows toward the center.

[0011] In this utility model, when the vacuum system is operating, the non-condensable gas generated by the volatile liquid undergoes secondary condensation in the condenser and then condenses into liquid. The liquid enters the storage tank and is collected by the liquid accumulation tray. It then enters the lower part of the liquid storage tank through the liquid inlet check valve. When the pressure in the upper and lower parts of the liquid storage tank is stable, the balance check valve is closed, isolating the liquid in the lower part of the liquid storage tank from the upper part, and no secondary volatilization occurs, thereby significantly reducing the generation of VOCs.
